New York City.—"Not a whit more spirited and determined was the North American Indian in keeping out the European invader than was the African Negro in protecting his native land." So says the author and journalist, J. A. Rogers, in an interesting article on "Bamaata—Leader of the Zulu Revolt" in the August number of "The Messenger", published in this city in King Philip's, continues the writer, "his Geronimos, and Sitting Bulls, the African Negro can point to his Cateways, Lobenguelas, and Moslikazes. As Sitting Bull wiped out the entire American expedition sent against him, so Cetewayo killed the entire British force sent against him in Isandhlwana. In West Africa, Samory, called 'The Black Napoleon of the Sudan', resisted the French, as in Ashanti, Kofi Karakari, did the English; or in orybus, Menelik did the Italian. Mr. Rogers then began the filling story of the leader of the native uprising in South Africa in 1906. By clever propaganda Bambata succeeded in arousing all Zululand against the whites. Although short of rifles and ammunition, and forced to do most of their fighting with assegals and spears, the Zulus defeated and killed several expeditions of whites and native police sent against them. Finally the whites became so alarmed that they declared martial law and to bear all of their military machinery to bear all of their military machinery. Dangerous Bambata and his men.

THE PASTOR OF ZION HILL BAPTIST CHURCH SECONDS BISHOP CAREY Who Literally "Skinned" the Few Remaining "Jim Crow" Hospital Advocates - A Body-Blow for Candidate Green-An Exceptionally Fine Speech. SIGN THE PETITIONS! All of our people, east of W. 65th St. and west of E. 105th St., should sign the referendum petitions, calling for a repeal of the new fire-limit extension ordinance passed by the city council, June 20, that are being circulated by the Cleveland Lumber Board and the Cleveland Federation of Labor. The new fire-limits have promoted apparently the purpose of promoting the sale of brick, concrete and tile and not wholly for the purpose of eliminating fire-hazards. If the new fire-limit extension ordinance is not repealed, all new buildings, between W. 65th St. and E. 105th St., will have to be constructed of a brick construction which is far more expensive than wood, of course. Be sure to sign the referendum petitions. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WILL BE NOMINATED REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR ON TUESDAY.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE ON TUESDAY. ent Facing Sure Defeat— g and Auto Parade Were er Mass Meeting, right, to Close mpaign. most enthusiastic applause of the large audience, Mr. Smith handed the following appeal, to his people of this community, to Editor D. E. Joseph E. Julius. Knepper of the Campbell and Struthers Tribune which was published in that paper on Tuesday of this week: An Appeal to Colored Voters! Opposition to foreign-born citizens of this country and their sons and daughters, citizens, born in this country or abroad, holding public office in any community is Ku Klux Klanism. This same organization opposes just as much the colored citizen, the Jew and the Catholic holding public office. The opposition to the nomination of Joseph E. Julius as the Republican candidate for mayor, subject to the primary to be held on Tuesday, August 9, 1927, is based entirely upon the fact that he is a son of foreign-born parents. The fact that he is a native-born American citizen, has served the municipality of New York City Solicitor and has been kind and most considerate to ALL residents of Campbell have not prevented the Ku Klux Klan opposition from opposing him on such silly ground. I want my people of Campbell to recall the fact that from its birth at the close of the war of the rebellion down to the present, Ku Klux Klanism has been our bitterest and most harmful enemy. Therefore, you of all other classes in the city of Campbell should be a position or anything else, with any man or set of men, whether they be kluxers or not, who seek to promote the vicious and un-American Ku Klux Klan opposition to foreign-born, colored, Jewish or Catholic citizens holding public office. Therefore, I appeal to all of my people of Campbell, voters, to not only support the candidacy of Joseph E. Julius for mayor of Campbell but also all the other candidates on the Julius ticket. You cannot do anything else and be honest and loyal to yourself, your family and your people. Harry C. Smith. Next Monday evening at Hamrock hall the Julius forces will hold their closing meeting of the campaign and it will be another epoch-making affair in likely no doubt that Mr. Smith will be with us again as a speaker and all know what that means. There will be music and refreshments galore as usual and everybody will enjoy themselves thoroly particularly because the triumphant success of the entire Julius ticket at Tuesday's primary is now no longer in doubt. There will be a repeat—last Saturday's great mass meeting and wonderful parade settled that question beyond even the shadow of a doubt. "Washing Dirty Linen". New York City. Mrs. Letitia Ernestine Brown, of Harlem, who does not conceal the fact that she is colored, asks alimony and a separation fro mCarlton Curtis, (white), retired millionaire and clubman.

President Coolidge has announced that he "chooses" not to run again. If he does not change his mind, it will be the best thing he has done while he has occupied the positions of vice-president and chief executive of this great nation. The greatest beneficiary of this decision, too, is the Republican party, which now has a good chance to elect the next president, providing of course, it does not nominate some such individual as U. S. Senator Wm. E. Borah of Idaho. The intelligent of no class of citizens of this country can possibly be as pleased over the President's latest decision, not to run again, as those of our group. We want to see governmental racial segregation die with the Coolidge administration in 1929. POLITICS FORCED ON WILBER- FORCE. Certain state officials (Republican) were playing politics when they finally succeeded, last Saturday, in forcing the board of trustees of the Combined Normal and Industrial (State) department at Wilberforce to make an opening for one Carl Jenkins in order that his job in the Secretary of State's office at Columbus would be open to one of their proteges of color. A part of their contemptible effort, to whip the board of trustees into doing what they wanted done, was the holding up of the spring pay-roll of all the employees of the State Department. Twice had the board refused to elect Jenkins to the clerkship, giving it to two men (Hickman and Points) who were induced to resign very soon after their election. Last Saturday, Chief Deputy State Auditor Silver, who represents State Auditor Tracy on the board of control (state officials), attended the State Department's board meeting to see that the Jenkins demand of the aforementioned state officials was finally accepted to. This is dirty politics and, when forced on a state institution, a shame and disgrace to the great state of Ohio which ought not to go unrebuked. The names of the state officials, responsible for this dirty work, will be learned and our voters of Ohio properly informed should they ever again stand for public office in this state. A member of the board of trustees of the State Department at Wilberforce, the editor of The Gazette keenly regrets to say that he was forced by an important business engagement to leave last Saturday's board meeting before the aforementioned dirty work was done. The State Department is not Wilberforce university. Five of the nine trustees of the department are appointed by the Governor of Ohio, with the consent of the State Senate. Four are appointed by the A. M. E. Church which controls the university with the one exception of the State Department which is technically known as the Combined Normal and Industrial (State) Department of Wilberforce University. "The Old Reliable" Gazette was the first newspaper to suggest, many months ago, U. S. Senator Frank B. Willis as the next Republican nominee for the Presidency and we are renewing it at this time, since President Calvin Coolidge has removed himself from the running. Congressman Nicholas Longworth, speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, is a fine man and splendid Presidential timber. The writer served in the Ohio Assembly with both of the gentlemen and knows them well. It is only our more intimate acquaintance with Mr. Willis and the good work for the race he has done since that time that inclines us preferentially toward him as the standard bearer of the party in 1928. Either gentleman as the candidate of the THE GEEVUM GIRLS party-would surely lead it on to a triumphant victory and make the people a Chief Executive such as they have not had for many, many years. Willis' and Longworth's closest political friends should get together early and reach a conclusion that will make impossible a factional fight in the ranks of Ohio Republicans that could only result in harm to both and possibly put both out of the running when the next Republican national convention convenes. BETTER POLICING NEEDED. Possibly, it is nobody's fault that Woodland Hills swimming pool has already been the scene of a drowning and a stabbing. Rowdyism should be checked at all costs, and the time to begin is now. There is no difficulty in maintaining high standards of conduct anywhere if the rule is once laid down any other kind will not be tolerated—The Cleveland Daily News. Director Harmon has "laid down the rule" and it is now up to the police, as it was before the rule was "laid down", to see that there is "better policing" and this Director Barry has promised. So that's that. We will now see what the future brings forth under the rule laid down by Director Harmon that the bathhouse and bathing pool are open to all "regardless of race, creed or color", and the promise of the director of public safety. OPEN CITY HOSPITAL! Cleveland, O., July 27, '27. Hon Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir:—When you came out and spoke to The Observers Council on the Mercy Hospital question, the officers and members were strength- ened and encouraged. This kind of help from one of Cleveland's best thinkers will make for a more sensible conclusion reached by the younger people. I wish to say that in our effort to open the City Hospital for race internes and nurses, the article pub- lished in the July 14 issue of Old Reliable' Gazette did much to encourage our members to work all the harder. The Observers Council invites your advice at all times. Cleveland, O., Aug. 1, '27. F. 1. D. Crayton, Pres. The Observers Council, City. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 27th utced and I am glad to know that "The Old Reliable" Gazette has and is encouraging the members of the Observers Council. May it ever be you write: "The Observers Council invites your advice at all times". Acting on this, I would suggest that your organization find on eligible Afro-American candidate for an internship and locate an intelligent girl of the race who desires to become a trained nurse. Then have the most intelligent and manly committee, possible to be selected in your council, go with them to City Manager William R. Hopkins and make a capitation at the City Hospital and in its training school for nurses, respectively. This will put the matter squarely up to him. The doctors advocating a "jim-crow" hospital for Cleveland, something they will never get, ought to materially help you to locate the proper candidates just referred to. Also the local branch of the N. A. C. (the first federal agency meeting of the leading citizens (male and female) of color in this community and they will back the Observers Council in such a fight "to the letter" with whatever is necessary to carry on the fight to open the City Hospital and School for Nurses, a public institution (maintained by the tax-payers of the community) to the citizens of the city "without reference to race, creed or color," as Park Director Harmon would say. Very truly yours, Harry C. Smith. WOODLAND HILLS BATHING Cleveland, O., July 27, '27. Mr. Edwin D. Barry, Director of Public Safety, City Hall, Cleveland. Dear Ed.:——On reading the local daily newspapers, this (Wednesday) evening, I was simply amazed to see where you had ordered the "immediate apprehension of a youth who stabbed a bather (white) during the fight" at the Woodland Hills bathing pool, last (Tuesday) evening, and had failed to do so in the case of the brute (white) who struck the fourteen-year-old lad, Leander Scott, for the same time and in the same place, "he hit his head" and putting him in for M. Sinal hospital "where he is fighting for his life". There is something wrong somewhere: I have known you so well for so very many years, and always thought you fair, that it is very difficult indeed to believe that you can be guilty as indicated in the daily newspaper accounts of this (Wednesday) evening as referred to above. Let me hear, thr these same papers, that you have done so—ordered the immediate apprehension of the brute who struck the Scott youth—and that you, too, frown down upon the Ku Klux Klan rioting and crime inside of those hoodlums out at Woodland Hills bathing pool, last (Tuesday) evening. Persons at the pool, inform me that there was no time, last evening, that the police on duty there could not have handled the situation properly if they had wanted to do so. Investigate this phase of the matter, too, while you are at it and do not forget the complaints Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Meade, of E. 130th St., registered with you, last week, when hoodlums at the pool sought in vain to prevent their son and his companions from using it. PRIME SPORT NEWS Dempsey Fonled Sharkey. Boston, Mass.—Jack Sharkey left St. Elizabeth's hospital, Brighton, last week Tuesday afternoon, after being treated for intestinal hemorrhages which Dr. Martin H. Spellman, hospital surgeon, declared were caused by foul blows on the groin. Sharkey went to the hospital after hemorrhages, frequent Sunday night, had recurred. “There is no question but Dempsey's were foul blows,” said the surgeon. “I am positive of that. There are two large lumps in his groin.” Thus wrote a sport-writer of a Cleveland daily paper, who was at the ringside, the night of the Shar- Park Director Harmon is right when he says: "It must be remembered by every one that Woodland Hills bath-house and swimming pool are for the use of every citizen, regardless of race, breed or color." Cleveland, O., July 28, '27. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, City. Dear Harry:—Knowing you to be an old war horse and also a newspaper man, and you knowing me as you do, you won't charge me with any things we want, and you won't trouble with discriminating against anyone. It was unfortunate, indeed, that trouble occurred at the Woodland Hills bathing pool but such things, you know, happen when we least expect them. There were seven life guards—four guards that are employed in Director Harmon's department, and three officers—there at the time that no trouble was expected. However, when it occurred, I gave orders to Chief Grau to have the proper number of police detailed there and also to carry out Director Harmon's orders as to the number he wanted. I also gave orders to apprehend anyone who attempted to assault any of our citizens and not get do otherwise. And you may rest assured that I will always do that. I do not believe we will have any more trouble there, at least I hope not. We are doing everything possible to see that the pool is for all the people; the Department must, and will, act fairly to all people. When you are down near the City Hall come in and see me. I will be pleased to talk with you and take your advice. Asks "The News" For Fair Treatment. Cleveland, O., Aug. 1, '27. Editor. The New News, City. Dear Sir;—In the News' article of last Wednesday, giving an account of the mob violence demonstration at the Woodland Hills bathing pool on Tuesday evening, your reporter wrote that Director of Public Safety Edwin D. Barry had ordered "an exhaustive investigation of the riot and the immediate apprehension of a youth who stabbed a bather, Michael Baschko, during the fight". Since a fourteen year old lad of color, Leander Scott of 3255 E. 126th St., the most severely injured, was taken to Mt. Sinal hospital with his skull supposedly fractured, and was there "fighting for his life" when the News article was published Wednesday evening, I was asked to learn from it. The Director Barry had not ordered the arrest of Scott's assailant, too, so wrote the Director, who under date of July 28, '27, wrote me as follows: "I gave orders to apprehend anyone who attempted to assault any of our citizens". The fact that the police were given orders to arrest Scott's assailant, as well as Bachkoh's assailant, ought also to be announced in the News. The failure to do so on last Wednesday evening was undoubtedly an oversight of the reporter but it ought to be made just the same in order that the fifty thousand colored residents of this city may continue to pay their rent in our jurisdiction in public safety's and The Cleveland News' earnest desire to do their full duty to all residents of this community.

Boston, Mass.—Jack Sharkey left St. Elizabeth's hospital, Brighton, last week Tuesday afternoon, after being treated for intestinal hemorrhages which Dr. Martin H. Spellman, hospital surgeon, declared were caused by foul blows on the groin. Sharkey went to the hospital after hemorrhages, frequent Sunday night, had recurred. “There is no question but Dempsey's were foul blows,” said the surgeon. “I am positive of that. There are two large lumps in his groin.” Thus wrote a sport-writer of a Cleveland daily paper, who was at the ringside, the night of the Sharkey-Dempsey fight: "At the start of the seventh (round) there were many who expected to see Dempsey collapse under the terrific pace his opponent had set. Thud, the blow was below the belt; bang, another farther down. Sharkey lifted his hands to turn to the referee. It was a fatal mistake. Dempsey, ever on the alert, sensing sure defeat, turned his best punch loose. It hit the button and Sharkey was erased from the titular scrap." This city and Taylor bowl long ago became notorious for its unfair and oft-times prejudiced decisions, as well as judges of fights. It is common talk that no decision will be given against a home fighter if it can possibly be avoided. The same thing is true in the case of mixed bouts, where the opponent usually being handed just what Tiger Flowers was awarded (or worse), Wednesday evening, at Taylor bowl. Last week Wednesday evening, at the same place in the McVey-Sage (white) fight the decision was the same as in Wednesday night's Flowers-Wiggins (white) fight—a draw. In the same case as Tiger smothered, Chuck Wendee day evening, all persons at the ringside agree. The unusual thing was the fact that, Wednesday evening's crowd openly "blood" the judge's rotten verdict. One judge dissented. POOL'S RESTAURANT REDECO- RATED. Pool's restaurant, 2308 E. 55th St. ever since its very auspicious opening, has been one of our showplaces of the city. Everybody talks about it. Everybody goes there and meets their friends. Even "the stranger within our gates" eventually finds his way to "Pools" where his wants are satisfied with courtesy and dispatch. The outstanding success of this restaurant, like the success of any business undertaking, rests in its management. Therefore, for some time the name of Pool has stood for the best of food; the best of cooking and the best of service to be secured in this city. But Clarence and Minnie Pool, proprietors, are never satisfied. They want their customers to feel that there they can find the beauty and atmosphere—some the beauty and atmosphere—so, in appreciation of the genuine support of the public for the past year, the Pools have just redecorated and refurbished their place of business, making it one of the most beautiful and best equipped restaurants, owned and operated by our people, in the state. The spirit of the Pools should be perpetuated. The MAin THE initial zeros in Cleveland of the numbers and show making calls.

HOW SEGREGATION IS USED AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL TO LOWER OUR STATUS AS CITIZENS. How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice? Washington, D. C., (Special), —There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Hart. It was greatly exacerbated by President Coolidge, increased sail and under President Hardy, and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the pres- ent administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a Democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taft introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting white workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, worst of a¹¹, announced in his official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one. It was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their graph which must accompany their papers, is tenacious: held on to by our Republican President. Only last week, colored girl appeared after being passed the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and word is law there, as he special favorite of Secretary Mellon and President Coolidge. He hails from North Carolina, the home of the other favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds. it is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the more nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postfoste corrugation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious cafeteria for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantage as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their lunches as it takes those of the luncheons for the comfort of the state, and setting them off as though they were lepers. The clerks stings all the more when they reflect that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelligent and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whives and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, comfortable lounges and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and a pleasant evening with the clerks for "the postoffice employees" yet not one was colored to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get the colored. These clerks give giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants are often passed over though their examination was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of emails. The collar of the colored dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and often appeals from his decisions to the postmaster-general. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government printing office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are set off from the whites with the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large cafeteria in this huge structure in the employees may go, but there are the employees out of the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard caste that bars promotions. Here, the law of segregation passes over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American band and bandmate worked, felt the injustice of this exclusion of our employees so keenly that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being "one of the best musicians," and was reported "social equality" and then dismissed on a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building afire in revenge for his exclusion from the dance floor. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and failing to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge and instituted a sentence for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a pariah by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a denial that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and the noble women who helped them. Shortly after the accession of Mr. Wilson to the White House, a mem- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1927. ber of my family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been noted for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate contact with the people applied at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to novail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our local white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discuaged, she came out, our stormy afternoon to the Y. to urge them to continue. McAdoo for urge them, the right for urge them was at the crises, Oswald Garrison Villard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured publicity in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The right checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau altogether. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fulness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED in their rest rooms, toilets, and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best nomes, most of them with high age normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation. Our people are still hoping for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton to be remembered that the great Haitian leader Indies, and in that long sweep of history that the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet, who, in a national extremity such as this country has never known, deviled the national treasury in Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed a 1 promoted several of them. Since the income tax legislation and the numberless new taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest demand for the government, several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and no farther. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilets, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilets for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire the use of them. The department maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space t. spare; but not one Negro! His only share is in the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registership of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." When it is discovered that Negro clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrog, but economic stress compels endurance of it. The wrog, but economic stroke of his pen, President Calvin Calqoldie can stop every bit of the damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. --- Washington, b. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the night against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury Department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, bearer board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were hardly cold before the effort to increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. He had wed up a little during the campaign.

AN IDEAL VACATION Is a Trip "Up and Down The Lakes" —Thousands Enjoy it Every Summer — Niagara Falls, Mackinac Islands, the Old Fort, Etc., Etc. The lure of the Great Lakes draws thousands of tourists to Michigan every summer, for no vacation is complete without a cruise over the pleasant waters of the inland seas that form a broad highway from Duluth, on the north, down to the Atlantic ocean. The chief ingredients of an ideal vacation outing include water, sunshine and fresh air, and in "The Land O' Lakes" we have the greatest body of fresh water in the world; there is an abundance of sunshine, and a few whiffs of the pure air of the lakes would make your lungs give a hygienic laugh, declared A. A. Schantz, president of the Detroit Cleveland Aquarium company, who for many years has been operating tourist steamers on Lakes Huron, Erie and Michigan. Niagara Falls and Mackinac Island are the two chief points of interest for tourists from the inland states. So many bridal couples visit Niagara Falls during the summer season that the Detroit and Buffalo division of the D. & C. steamer line has long been known as "The Honeymoon Trail". Mackinac Island located at the junction point of Lake Huron, Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, is the queen of the multitude of Michigan summer resorts. It is certain that no better place than Mackinac Island can be found for sickly girls, puny boys and tired grownups, for here everyone is soon alive with animal spirits and eat in such a way as to demonstrate the paradox that the quantity contained the land may be in the container. The land is high and dry; the scenery is rugged and picturesque. The great pine groves fill the air with healing balsam. As the tourist steamer enters the Straits of Mackinac the island presents a striking appearance with its abrupt cliffs rising out of the lake and towering high in the air. The long white walls of the ancient fort crowning a huge eminence and commanding the crescent-shaped gem of a harbor, the steep winding roadway to the beach and the busy village nestling below forms a picture that lingers long in the memory.

Editor. 1 A A YOUR choice, a summer coat all of face or of delicate-tail silk—which shall it be? Or perhaps you have made up your mind to own one of the new hand-blocked linen coats whose patterns bespeak East Indian inspiration, or how about a colorful velveten wrap or one made entirely of ribbon, row upon row? It adds zest to the mode for such delightfully whimsical materials to enter the list of popular mediums for the summer wrap. Furthermore, these prettily frivolous cloakings are yet another proof that we are in the midst of an era of ultra-feminine style trends. If one must give "a why and a wherefore" of these radically new cloak ideas, let's trace them to their origin—that of tuning them in to complement the popular ensemble costume. Yes, no doubt the ensemble is responsible for the present coat garries. Soon as ever the creators of our fashions started to matching up this and that, to complete the compose, it SHEER WHITE DAN FEATURE BLITHE and bonny youth captures the heart of the world this summer, as it dines and dances in very sheer frocks, which are all white and possessed of many flounces and tiers. Distinction in simplicity is the present hobby of the mode. Again and again, biblowy tulle or filmy net, posed over under-drops of white satin or taftet, strike a note of refreshing artlessness in the midst of sophisticated styling. Organdie also holds away in youths' realm. Indeed the mode is extemporizing on the organdie theme at this moment, playing it in every fascinating key. White georgette, too, is quite a favorite for evening wear. Which all goes to show that this is very much of a "white season." The lovely white evening frock in the picture typifies the trend toward sweetly simple effects. Alluring transparency distinguishes this model of white tulle which is so charmingly posed by Billie Dove, a screen artist who is gifted with the art of wearing AZETTE A Subscribe af led on and on to using materials related to the frock, for the coat also. Hence we have wraps of all-over lace to wear with gowns of identical all-over lace, also silk toasts of the same fabric as the rest of the costume and other versions too numerous to mention. So enthusiastic is the mode over these fanciful coats they are now being exploited as an individual proposition entirely independent of the ensemble idea. For instance the clever face coat shown here to the right is designed for summer use. It may be worn over a neat georgette afternoon dress, as pictured, or over a dainty sleeveless belfower georgette, or over one's washable summer dresses it will prove most winsome. Note the grosgrain ribbon bordering about this coat, which displays a trio of bright colors, Grosgrain ribbon bindings and borderings finish the edges of many a fashionable garment this season. The silk coat to the left in the picture is a Paris creation fashioned of beige crepe fallle. It is stunning for daytime wear, as are the many coats which the haute couture are designing of light-colored crepes and moires. Seen in Paris also are myriads of little velvet tuxedos worn with plaited crepe de chine skirts. The latest Parisian sensation is the separate jacket of moire silk in black, white or in color.

A dream of a gown is this, with a rather long skirt contrasted by a stylishly short white satin underslip. Smart items are the normal waistline and the sash of white satin which girdles it. White pearls, white satin slippers, with flesh-colored hose and the dainty costume completes its story of unaffected loveliness. Sometimes the mode permits just a touch of color. Perhaps a huge flower of chiffon sprawls its diaphanous petals at the hip. Or it may be that an enormous bow of tinted malines with streamers finds placement at the waist, dipping its voluminous streamers to accomplish the fashionable irregular heline. Here's a fetching idea if one embroider—work flowers in colorful yarn or white organdie. Try it! So simple to do, so inexpensive—yet one of the prettiest ideas of the season for the summer frock.

The jazziest and sexiest spot on the two continents! The first place visited by all good Americans! Three Principal Halls. The three principal music halls of Montmartre, the Folies-Bergere, the Moulin Rouge, and the Casino de Paris, among others. We love the girls dring their stages, some with figures eclipsing that of the Venus de Milo, and almost eclipsing her in the matter of clothing or lack of it. The Paris ladies, who by the way, are mostly English girls, do wear a garment about one-fifth of an inch larger and thicker than the piece of ham one gets in a railroad sandwich. I visited Montmartre in 1955, and I saw this year, only one sees more, much more of the ladies. "Unmentionables". In 1925 at the Folies-Bergere it was Benglia, the magnificent Negro dancing with one of the white ladies clad in the above mentioned unmen-tionables. This year it is Josephine Baker, dressed in two tiny tufts of black hair, and she stands front. This I have been told, took the place of three or four bananas, which looked as if they would fall off any minute. There is also a moving picture at the Folies with nudes and then ever so many more nudes. Casino de Paris. At the Casino de Paris, which is even more gorgeous than the Folles this year, is a black girl of such matchless figure and bust (what I really mean to say is, breast) that the audience applauds when she appears, which is all she does. French actors are in the habit of hiring their own applause, better known as the claque. I'. S. Dancer At Moulin Rouge U. S. Dancer At Moulin Rouge. At the Moulin Rouge, the black dancer, Harry Fleming, of Philadelphia, dances with a white girl. When she finally falls into his arms, one expects the roof to fall in, or an earthquake, or at least a riot, but truth to tell nothing happens. West Indian In the Bals de Opera a very dark Negro, Joe Santiago from the French West Indies, dances with Madame Sandraly, holding her over his head, their almost nude bodies close together. It is easy to understand now why the Kluxers got ready to give a hempen reception to our soldier boys when they got back from "over there." **Tourists Increase.** The same sight may be seen in any of the dance halls in Paris; sometimes a white man and a black girl, but more often the converse. I have been told of the colored tourists to these dance halls so that they may see for themselves. The colored population of Paris seems to have increased since I was here last.—Baltimore Afro-American. WHO IS HE? Will the "brother" with the word "taxi" on his hat who was refused service and grossly insulted in the Bell restaurant on West Superior Ave. near W. 3rd St., Wednesday July 20, or Thursday, July 21, '27 call at The Gazette office at once? Some good news! The foregoing local item appeared in our last issue. As the editor of The Gazette was hurrying to the press room, immediately after lunch last week Thursday noon, he was met by a friend (white), a business man, whose store is near The Gazette office, and told of the following incident which had, occurred either that day or the one previous: A member of the race with the word "taxi" on his hat entered the Bell restaurant positioned above, and ordered a "hot dog" a proprietor of the sandwich this place is a Greek. The sandwich was made and was being wrapped in a paper when the "brother" said to the Greek or whoever was waiting on him: "Give me a cup of coffee, too, I am going to eat it here". Immediately the sandwich was thrown to the floor and the Greek, or whoever it was that made the sandwich, turned away saying: "I am not refusing you on account of your color". Evidently he thought this would release him from the possibility of a law under our Ohio Civil Rights law, but the "brother" can be located and will permit the editor of The Gazette to help him. Our business friend (white) said that he winked at the brother in an effort to try to assure him of his friendliness and offers to be a witness providing a case is instituted against the Greek proprietor of the Bell restaurant. Will our readers help us to locate that "brother" so that we may put that Greek proprietor's anatomy so high in the legal air that his feet will touch the clouds thru the medium of a civil rights case that will teach him and all of his kludge or its community much of needed lesson. There is so much of needed lesson in Cleveland, and elsewhere in Ohio, largely because our people fail to make proper legal efforts to fight it down and secure their rights and privileges in public places in common with all other law-abiding residents.
